    Is this worth the PS4?

    Hey everyone,

    I love baseball to death. Baseball and hockey are my two favourite sports by far. I had a PS3 to play The Show for a long time. I played the crap out of the games every year. My PS3 just died on me and I'm considering going out and spending the $450 tomorrow on the PS4 for The Show. I love the game and I just wanted to know if it's truly worth $450 for someone who's grown up playing/loving baseball. It's not that money is tight or anything, I would just like to know. Thing is that I play everything else on 360/One, and the PS4 would be just specifically for The Show.

    As much as you love MLB The Show...it's definitely worth it!
    I bought the PS4 the first day it was available and have loved it from day one. I don't play hockey, but I do play tons of The Show, NBA 2k15, The Golf Club, Metal Gear, Super Mega Baseball, and several other games.
    The games all look and perform better on PS4...and that will only improve as developers continue to learn how to max out this new system.
    If money isn't an issue...you should buy one...you'll be glad you did.

      I bought my PS4 just for MLB THE SHOW and don't regret it, I then bought a Xbox One cause it was available when every where else was sold out, was lucky casue some one canceled their order, both are great.

          I was an XBOX 360 guy only until all I could get was 2k baseball. I bought a PS3 just for the show back in 2009 and a PS4 for the same reason on release day in 2013.

              If you've got the cash to drop on a new PS4, go for it. I just bought one myself a couple weeks ago in anticipation of MLB 15 The Show. It was the GTA V/Last of Us Holiday bundle, local store had one left. $429 for the PS4 and 2 games. I also downloaded Dragon Age Inquisition and have been playing quite a bit of that the past week or so.

              But come March 31st, those other games are going to see little play time in my rotation, it will be all about The Show.

              Hopefully with all of the great enhancements they've been talking about, especially the revamped franchise mode, this years game is the best yet.

                Well, like everyone said, if money isn't an issue, it's time to upgrade anyway. IMO, PS4 is the way to go and if you're as nutty as I am for baseball, this is your only choice. Search IGN Deals as there a few PS4 deals that still pop up. To be honest, I felt '14 was a port from the PS3. I'll bet 15 will be like a transition year with some great features, improved load times, and graphics and 16 will be great as the Ps3 will be faded out mostly by then (and hopefully they can fix sounds of the show by then too). They really support this franchise with weekly roster updates and if you want it on the go, you can buy and play it on vita and save your stuff to the cloud to carry over from system to system. You don't need to start a new RTTS guy anymore either as they carry over with year to year saves.

                      Yes, and you may change your mind on playing everything else on XBox. IMO the PS4 is much better than the One.


                      Also, Uncharted 4 coming later this year. The Show + Uncharted = worth it, if you've got the money.

                        I had this question as well. I'm definitely purchasing one once I get the money. I can't wait for The Show!

                          This series was a primary factor in my decision to choose PS4 this gen, and it hasn't disappointed. In fact, The Show has supplanted FIFA as my go-to sports game.

                          So yeah, I'd say it's worth it.

                            While based off mlb 14 the show I would ay no. Now after mlb 15 that remains to be seen. Mlb 14 the show on ps4 I felt kind of underramied has the game while not bad but was a dissaptoment has graphically the game only look slightly better then mlb13 the show on ps3 and in some ways the game play was kind of worse. Last year for the first time in like 4 years the old problem of ever CPU fielder playing like a good glover came back has like ever game the CPU would make at least 1 just crazy jumping type of catch. For the first time in a long time I am not really hype about the new game being only a few months away hopefully in the next month or so has we get to know more about 15 I will be blow away. So for just mlb I would say right now it is not worth it in less mlb 15 is a major jump form 14 but I think ps4 is a way better system then xboxone and I think batman arkham knight is a must own game that is coming out latter this year but it will be on the xboxone has while but I have always hated microsofot has they make no good games at all.
